#1 Eyepoke of doom

Actually, this was the first bit of physicality in WWE under Daniel Bryan's era of not being physically cleared to compete. Unlike the fall onto Shane McMahon, while he was trying to count the pin, this contact appeared completely accidental.

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens were preparing an announce table for the sake of splashing Shinsuke Nakamura through. Shane argued with Sami before inadvertently ramming one of his fingers deep into Daniel's eye socket.

It's possible that this was all done in kayfabe as a way to explain why Shane didn't try to stop the duo he wanted to be fired from giving Nakamura a bump that would eliminate him from the match. However, Shane moved away from Bryan almost immediately and simply watched the spot while making no efforts to stop them.
